Organise an event

In 2016, gardens, organistaions and local groups shared their love of gardening by organising an event and registering it on our website. Whether it’s just you, your family, your organisation, or your community, get involved with National Gardening Week.

You can Register your event now by clicking on the button at the bottom of this page. If you have an idea to discuss you can email us at nationalgardeningweek@rhs.org.uk.

In the meantime, here are a few ideas to get you thinking for 2017:

Get a few people together to transform or clean-up an unused or neglected space in your area (with permission)

If you have a garden or outdoor space, hold a garden party and invite your friends and neighbours

Hold a fundraising event to raise money for a local community garden or project. Hold a cake sale, a sponsored weeding marathon or a bring and buy sale

Organise some family activities in your local park. Get children to make a paper pot and plant a sunflower seed inside. Run a mask making or face painting session with butterflies, flowers, bugs and beasties as themes. Make flower and leaf collages, herb teas or rhubarb jam

Give out recipe cards, activity sheets or gardening factsheets from our Things To Do section.
